Fiendish Fables, presented by John Schlim Jr., proudly proclaims itself to be “inspired by the classic horror comics that defined a genre!” This book most certainly is. Its 52 pages are packed with nine short stories that run the gamut. We’re talking demons, ghosts, vampires, zombies; you name it.

The stories are tonally various and all competently composed. Each story features great black and white artwork, each with its own unique style contributing to this book’s dynamic genre menu. The only thing I have to complain about at all is that the stories are so short that often times I’m left wanting more just has the words, “The End” appear.

This book is a must read!
